Chapter 15: Return to Duanfu
The next morning, I was woken up by Xiaofu. In a daze, I let her comb for me, Duan Jingya also came to my room, bringing a small red cotton jacket that she sewed by herself, saying that the cotton jacket was more like a cotton vest, and Xiaofu combed a simple double bun for me.
Duan Jingya put on a small jacket for me with her own hands, with red eyes: "Yue'er, when the first day is over, Sister will pick you up, go back and endure everything, what is there to find the eldest brother, don't talk back to Erniang, do you know?" โ
Seriously, I have been very comfortable in the Li Mansion this year, since Li Jiancheng's birthday banquet, even Zheng Guanyin has not bothered Duan Jingya again, and later, the news that I knocked out the "Entering the Array" with a teacup spread, and the man who asked me about the song also asked me for the music score later. Thinking about that Wei Baice, he called this name, and later sent back a lone book as a return gift!
Thinking about it, I was a little reluctant to go, although I said that I would come back after the first day, but now it is only midwinter and there are more than two months before the first day, and after the first day, I will come back to Xingyue, three months, I want to leave the house where I have lived for almost a year, and go to a strange environment for three months, think about it...
I looked at Duan Jingya and couldn't help but reach out and hug her: "Sister, don't worry, there is a big brother and father at home, and Erniang won't embarrass me." โ
Duan Jingya tied my cloak for me and sent me out, as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Li Yuanji waiting at the gate of the courtyard with a wooden box in his hand, and the moment he saw me, his eyes widened, and then he blushed and lowered his head.
I smiled and looked at Duan Jingya, she smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Sister went to meet the eldest brother first. โ
I nodded: "Well, sister, I'll be here soon." โ
Duan Jingya nodded, led Xiao Rong and Xiao Fu to leave first, and I trotted to Li Yuanji.
Raised his hand and gently punched him in the chest and said, "Hey! Rotten eggs, how? Come and see me off? โ
He looked at me and said, "Stinky girl, I didn't want to send you?" Anyway, you'll be back after the Yuan day. I was just... It's just..."
Before he could finish speaking, I raised my hand and hugged him, patted him lightly on the back, then let go and said, "You're definitely bored when I'm away, don't think about crying when the time comes." โ
Li Yuanjileng was in place, he didn't react for a long time, I saw the small wooden box in his hand, which was very exquisite, and asked, "This is for me?" โ
Li Yuanji came back to his senses, nodded with a red face, and handed me the wooden box in his hand: "Well, give it, when I went to count the grain this morning, I passed by a stall and it looked good, so I bought it, and I originally planned to keep it for my own use, but now I should give you a gift for the first day of the day in advance." โ
This kid has a hard mouth! I pursed my lips and opened the wooden box with a smile, and there was a pair of jade earrings lying inside, which were very simple, in the shape of water droplets. I looked at the contents in amazement and looked up at him.
He was also stunned for a moment, and I laughed and said, "Hahaha... Rotten eggs, are you going to keep this for yourself? โ
His face instantly looked like a ripe apple, and he stammered, "That... That... It must have been the boss who made a mistake... This... This is just right, for you... Well... It must have been misloaded. โ
I looked at his nervous helplessness, hugged him again, and said, "Thank you!" Rotten eggs, thanks. With that, I let go of him who was frozen, punched him in the chest and said, "Good buddy! When I get back, we'll have dinner and drink together. Gone, goodbye! โ
With that, I ran around him to the antechamber, I was afraid that he would see me red-eyed.
Li Yuanji looked at the disappearing red figure, and touched the place where he was beaten just now, as if something had crashed into his heart, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.
When I came to the front hall, I saw a handsome face dressed in green clothes, and an expressionless handsome face suddenly smashed into my eyes. It's really dignified and dignified. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. The chest is broad, and there is the majesty of ten thousand invincibles. This person is my big brother Duan Zhixuan, who picked it up cheaply! Not to mention what these ancient people grew up eating, none of the people I have encountered until now say that they are ugly.
Duan Zhixuan was slightly stunned at first when he saw me, then laughed, and said with his teeth exposed: "Well, I have grown a lot taller." โ
Maybe it was the smile that infected me, and I felt that he had a sense of intimacy, not so strange, as if he was really the brother I hadn't seen for a long time.
I laughed too, walked over and saluted, "Jing Hao has seen my brother." โ
He smiled and raised his hand to touch my head, Duan Jingya watched and laughed from the side, and I saw Li Jiancheng sitting on the side at this time, looking at me with a gentle face, and I bowed to him.
Duan Zhixuan said to Li Jiancheng: "Brother Jiancheng, my father is waiting for my little sister, so I will take my little sister to say goodbye first, my little sister has been disturbed in the house for many days, and it is really a brother who has worked hard." โ
Li Jiancheng got up and bowed back: "Brother Zhixuan is polite." โ
Saying that, Duan Zhixuan turned to me and smiled at me and said, "Let's go." โ
I nodded, turned around and hugged Duan Jingya, then turned around and went out with Duan Zhixuan, when I turned around, I saw Duan Jingya gently wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and I also saw Li Jiancheng standing behind her and raising his hand, but finally put it down.
I looked at Duan Zhixuan's back and sighed in my heart: This is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, but this person is now my brother. The world is really unpredictable...
Duan Zhixuan deliberately slowed down in front, I looked at the back in front and smiled, this person is quite gentle and considerate.
In front of the carriage, Duan Zhixuan got into the carriage first and then turned around and stretched out his hand to pull me, I looked at the calloused palm in front of me, and then looked up at Duan Zhixuan.
He laughed, "Let's go!" Big brother will protect you in the future. โ
Slightly startled, I smiled and put my hand into his wide palm, and a warmth hit my heart.
Sitting in the carriage, I lifted the curtain and took one last look at the gate of the Li Mansion. But I saw a black figure flashing, I frowned slightly, and lowered the curtain.
Duan Zhixuan looked at me and said, "What's wrong?" โ
I looked up at him and shook my head with a smile: "Nothing? In the future, with the eldest brother here, Yue'er is not afraid of anything. โ
Duan Zhixuan was slightly stunned, then raised his hand with a smile and touched my head and said, "Yue'er is really as said in the letter, it's not the same, it's very good." โ
Then we sat in the carriage for eight days before we arrived in Yingzhou, and my bones almost fell apart.
In the eight days I spent with this Zhixuan, I found that he really loved his two sisters, and he was careful everywhere. And I found that only in front of me and Duan Jingya would there be a gentle side, and the rest of the time he had a cold face when facing others.
I didn't expect this time to cross, not to mention picking up a sister, but also picking up a sister-controlled brother, is this considered God's compensation for me.
Duan Zhixuan lifted the curtain: "Yue'er, turn over the mountain in front of you and you'll be home." Come down and rest first, eat something before continuing on your way. โ
I nodded, of course, I'm almost fainting, it's really uncomfortable to sit in this carriage. It's still modern, this distance, the plane is three hours away, but now it is a bumpy eight days for me.
Just as we got out of the car to rest, there was a sparse sound from the grass around us, and Duan Zhixuan immediately got up to protect me behind him.
I saw a group of men with sticks coming out of the grass, and behind them stood some old people, women and children, and a man who seemed to be taking the lead said to us with a stick in his hand: "Stay... Leave the money and let you go! โ
Perhaps frightened by seeing Duan Zhixuan's black-faced face, the man in the lead stammered a little. I looked at them, one or two of them were dressed in shabby, and there were old and weak women and children, who should not be mountain bandits, but more like refugees.
Duan Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, intending to step forward and take down the man who took the lead. I raised my hand and grabbed the corner of his shirt and said, "Brother, wait a minute." โ
I walked out from behind him, and the leader took a nervous step back, and I smiled and said to Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, go and take out all the food in the car and distribute it to everyone." โ
Little Flen looked at me in disbelief, and I urged, "Go! โ
Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, but turned around and went to the car to get something.
The refugees in front of me were also confused by me, looked at each other, and then looked at me again, and I smiled: "Everyone is hungry!" We don't have much to eat, we can barely eat some, I still have some money here, I'll let the girl take it and share it with everyone later. As he spoke, he looked at the men with sticks in front of him and said, "You just wanted to beat my brother with a few sticks?" Let's put it down first! โ
After saying that, Xiaofu took out all the food from the car, and I looked at it, and I could barely pad my stomach.
When those people saw that I really took out food for them, they all put down the weapons in their hands and knelt down and kowtowed: "I really can't help this kind young lady, thank you, the young lady is really a living bodhisattva." โ
I was startled, and immediately stepped forward to help the old man, women and children behind me and said, "You all get up quickly, don't do this." Hurry up and eat first. โ
After eating, I learned from the mouth of the leader. They are all refugees from the nearby county town, and now the world is miserable, and they are really forced to choose to do the half-way robbery.
Duan Zhixuan counted the number of people, there were about sixteen people, seven men in the prime of life, and the rest were old and weak women and children. It's only been here for more than half a month.
There are not many things, and when these people finish eating, they are only half full, and those young men are probably really just padding their stomachs, because most of them are given to the elderly, women and children.
After seeing that they were all finished, I got up and walked up to Duan Zhixuan and said, "Brother, how much money do you have on you?" โ
Duan Zhixuan took out his money bag and handed it to me, "There are probably more than five hundred beads left in it." โ
I smiled and said, "Well, it's enough for them to last a few days." โ
I walked up to the man who took the lead with the money bag and put it in his hand, "Pick it up, it's not much, but it's enough to last a few days." โ
The man looked at me in surprise, returned the money bag to me, and said, "The girl has already given us food, and we can't take this money anymore." โ
I smiled, put the money bag in his hand again, turned to look at the old man and children on the side, and said, "You don't need it, but the old man and the child are not stronger than you." Take it! โ
The man looked at the old men and then at me, and was moved, and immediately knelt down and said: "Today's young lady is very kind, Zhang Liang remembers, if the young lady has any use in the future, Zhang Liang will never give up!" โ
I frowned slightly, and helped him up, this name is so familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it, forget it, I immediately replied: "Zhang Gongzi is serious, get up quickly." โ
After saying that, I also said goodbye to this crowd, and before leaving, I gave them some daily necessities such as clothes and quilts, anyway, they will arrive soon, and some of them will not be needed.
On the carriage, Duan Zhixuan kept staring at me, and I looked at him strangely and said, "What's wrong?" Brother, is there anything on my face? โ
Duan Zhixuan laughed, reached out and pinched my cheek, I was stunned, what is he doing?
I saw him smile and say, "Well, it's my Yue'er." After saying that, he let go of his hand and sat upright. I was a little baffled by his series of actions.
